Fashion Icon Isaac Mizrahi Gushes Over Timothée Chalamet: 'A Dreamboat'
A star-studded encounter leaves a lasting impression.
Isaac Mizrahi, the renowned fashion designer, recently opened up about his experience working with the charismatic Timothée Chalamet on the set of 'Marty Supreme'. Mizrahi, in an exclusive interview with Page Six, recalled the thrill of meeting the 30-year-old actor, admitting he was a bit nervous but pleasantly surprised by Chalamet's dreamy demeanor.
But here's where it gets intriguing: Mizrahi, 64, revealed that the 'Dune' star asked him for a selfie, an unexpected moment that left him gushing. 'He is such a dreamboat,' Mizrahi raved, emphasizing the actor's charm.
The designer's connection to the film goes beyond his role as a publicist for Gwyneth Paltrow's character. Mizrahi shared an unconventional path to landing the part, explaining his long-standing relationship with the film's co-writer and director, Josh Safdie. He reminisced about knowing Safdie since the latter's childhood, attending family gatherings and watching him grow up.
As the conversation unfolds, Mizrahi shifts gears to his upcoming show at the Café Carlyle, titled 'A.I. Artificial Isaac'. The show, running from February 3rd to 21st, marks a significant milestone—his 10th-anniversary celebration at the club. Mizrahi promises to explore the bittersweet feelings of aging, a topic he approaches with humor and honesty.
And this is the part most people miss—Mizrahi's candid reflections on getting older. He confesses his disdain for birthdays and anniversaries, any reminder of time's relentless march. But it's not just the sentimental; Mizrahi humorously points out the practical challenges of aging, like the newfound difficulty of standing up or navigating stairs.
The event was a star-studded affair, with winners Rose Byrne, Amy Madigan, Benicio del Toro, and Safdie in attendance. Safdie shared the Best Screenplay award with Ronald Bronstein, adding another layer of excitement to the evening.
